Being semi-retired, I have the luxury of setting my own work schedule, more-or-less. No work for me from the 24th through the 29th, then just one day before JAN 2. There's nothing not to like about being retired. Work part time, on whatever days you feel like, etc.
I work for myself so I'm off for the next 2 weeks. I decided to cut back to a few select clients and be semi-retired too starting in 2020. Reeaalllly looking forward to it!
